In order that a constant, positive, and uniform movement of the apparatus may be maintained, l provide a suitable driving mechanism, comprising' a rack i, with which meshes a gear J on one ond ot a counter-shaft journaled in suitable bearings L and carrying' two loose sprocket-wheels l\`l and M olj ditierent diameter. 'lhesesprocket-wheelsareconuocted to l'iXed sproeket-wheels N and N ol. like diameter on a drive-shaft by means of sprocket-cliaius l and ll and are adapted' to be engaged by adouble clutch Q, operated by a pivoted lever li. By engaging' the clutch with the smaller loose sprocket-wheel N the shaft l( will be revolved at its highest speed, and by engaging' said clutch with the larger sprocket-wheel M' shalt li will be revolved at a lower rate of speed and impart motion to the cylinders aeci'n'dingly. instead ol1 the clutch Q, l may use a double friction-clutch, or I may usedouble sets ol pulleys drive-n by belts, and the results will be the same. By thc use ot' this ivfoustruetion o |E driving mechanism it will be apparent that a Constant, posit tive, and uniform action of the api'iaratus at a 4 regular rate olf speed is provided lor, \vhero by all liability ot' imperfect oxidation due to irregular action ol the cyliniglers is avoided.

Vllroiu the foregoing' description, taken in connect ion with the accompanyin cy drawings, the instruction and operation ol the invention will be readily understood without re- Quirino,A a more extendeill erqilzination.

Various changes in the torni, proportion, and the minor details ol construction may be resorted to without departing' from the principle or sacrilicing any of the advantages ol this invention. i ,liz'tving thus described my invention, what l I claim as new, and desireto secure byLetters Patent, is#

l. ln an oxidizing' apparatus, the combina: tion of a rotary carrier, perforated drums attached to said carrier and provided with supporting; wheels, concentric circular tracks upon which said wheels run, said tracks boing arranged to support said d ruins in an inwardly and downwardly inclined position, and moans whereby said rotary carrier is driven, substai'itially as described.

Q. lin an oxidizingv apparatus. the combination ol a. rotary carrier, perforated drums attached to said v'arrier and provided with wheels, concentric circula-r tracks upon which said wheels run, said tracks being' arranged to support said drums in an inwardl.Y and downwardly inclined position, a drive-shaft, a coun- 'er-shaft operatively coiinectod with said carrier, lixed sprocket-wlieels or pulleys olf like diameter on the drive-shaft, loose sprocketwheels or pulleys ol'l unequal diameter on said counter-shaft, chains or belts connecting' the sprocketnvhcels on the two shafts, and a double clutch or pulley coacting with said loose sprocket-wheels or pulleys, substantially as and lor the purposes described.

lu au oxidizing' apparatus, the combina,- tion o'l a rotary carrier, iiiert'orated oxidizingd ruins attached to said carrier and provided with wheels, a circular trackway, com prising' ccmmmtrically-disposed inner and outer tracks arrai'iged to supportsaid drums in au inwardlyinclined position, and high and low speed gearing' tor rotating' the carrier at a constant positive, and unil'orm, regulated high or low speed, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto setmy hand in presence ol' two subscribing' witnesses.
